Abstract
The potential of InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) as photoactive material for very high-speed long-wavelength photodetectors on GaAs substrate is evaluated. We report on the dynamic photoresponse of surface-illuminated metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) detectors containing one absorbing InAs/GaAs QD layer which is grown by MOCVD. Moreover, we present data on the internal quantum efficiency near 1.3 /spl mu/m which provide an upper estimate of the /spl alpha/d product of a single QD layer. A 3-dB bandwidth of 35 GHz and a 1.3-/spl mu/m internal efficiency of -3.1/spl times/10/sup -4/ is observed. A novel traveling-wave configuration of an InAs/GaAs QD MSM detector with drastically improved quantum efficiency is proposed and analyzed.
